Simple Text to Speech

Select the text you want to hear, right-click and select 'Speak selection'
I made this extension for myself because I need something simple that will speak text with a wicked female voice. If you find this extension useful, rate and share it.

Instructions:

  • Select the text you want to hear, right-click and click on 'Speak selection'.
  • The speech will continue, even if you close the tab unless you specifically right click and click on 'Stop Speech'.
  • Large text selection will take a few seconds to load in memory and for the speech to start.
  • Known Bug: If the speech doesn't start, please Stop and Start the speech again.
